Details of little projects that I take on, usually of some technical nature and the trials and tribulations of trying to accomplish something doable. In addition, some of the inbetweens of life that come up and have to be done, need to be done or want to done while doing something else. In other words, I try to do a lot, but end up being, "Jim Do Little".

JFK Love Letters, Tiger Woods Tweets

Today JFK's love letters to one of his many mistresses came up for sale. Just a few months ago, Tiger Woods tweeted to many of his mistresses. These events got me thinking that maybe there's more than meets the eye here. I think if you're open minded about it there are some parallels between Tiger and JFK. If they somehow switched places both of them would have done what the other did. Maybe JFK didn't ring up as many notches on his putter as Tiger, but it wasn't for lack of trying.

Of interest:

JFK was the 35th President of the United States

Tiger was the 61st winner of the Masters

JFK was the first and only (if I'm wrong tell me) Catholic President

Tiger was the first non Caucasian to win the Masters

They both met Bob Hope

They both liked blonds (Elin and Marilyn)

They both liked Swedish women (Elin and Gunilla)

JFK was the youngest President

Tiger was the youngest to win the Masters

JFK was one of the most admired men in his daya

Tiger was one of the most admired men in his day

Both of their images were tarnished by revelations of their affairs

JFK was run down by a Japanese destroyer (PT 109)

Tiger was run down by a Swedish destroyer (Elin Nordegren)

JFK was assassinated

Tiger was assassinated (by the press)

I mean no disrespect. I remember the day JFK was assassinated (I was 3, the TV screen was round) and it was a sad day. I also remember when the news about Tiger came out. I'm sure that there's a Zapruder like video out there that will either clear up or further cloud Tigers story. Will we really ever know what truly transpired in Dallas? Will we really ever know what truly transpired in Windermere?

About Me

My main interests are photography, computers, solvable problems and alternate entertainment(books, live shows etc.). Also, eating at non - chain restaurants and promoting them and seeing more of Cleveland and other cities on foot.
Our first computer was a Tandy TL/3 from Radio Shack which did not have Windows 3.1 but DOS. All I wanted was to install Scrabble. The guy who helped me kept calling it "Stabble". I bought a book on DOS after many trips back to the store and no success. Just another one of my "little projects". And yes, in case you were wondering, I did successfully install "Stabble"!
